SIGMUND LANDAUEB, OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

ADJUSTABLE HEEL FOR FLOWS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 388,982, dated September 4, 1888.

Application filed July .20, 1888.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIGMUND LANDAUER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Atlanta, in the county of Fulton and State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Adjustable Heel for Flows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and

to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to the landside of turnplows, the object being to adjust the heel to take up wear and for other purposes. It consists of a plate that is pivoted at one end and bolted at the other to the permanent landside, the plate having a wedge-shaped flange at the bottom, and being curved to insure its proper seating and covered by the removable landside, the particulars of which will be hereinafter fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is aside elevation of the operative parts of a plow, showing the standard, mold board, point, and the removable landside, having a portion broken away to show the permanent laudside and the adj nstable heel and its means of attachment. Fig. 2 is an end view of the removable and the permanent landsides, the adjustable heel, and showing the attaching bolt. Fig. 3 is a top view of the adjustable heel, showing the curvature of the inner side of the web to insure its proper seating. Fig. 4 is a perspective of the adjustable heel.

In the several figures, like referencemarks indicating corresponding parts, Ais the stand ard; B, the mold-board; G, the permanent and D the removable landsides. E is the adj ustable heel, which is shown in all the figures, the wedge-shaped bottom flange and the means of attachment by the piutle e and bolt 9 only being shown in Fig. 1, the means of attachment, the form, and position to contiguous parts being further shown in Fig. 2, the curvature of the web being shown in Fig. 3, and all the details, including the pintle e, the wedge- Scrial No. 280,534. (No model.)

shaped flange c, and the slot 6', being shown in Fig. 4-.

. When the heel is new and adjusted as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the bottom of the several parts that form the landside is practically straight, but the rear end of the plow may be raised and the point caused to enter deeper into the ground by turning the heel down on its pivoted point and fastening it in that position by the bolt 0. The wear of the heel may be also taken up in the same way.

It will be observed by reference to Fig. 3 that the web of the heel on the inner side, or the side that goes against the landside, is curved, so as to cause it to touch the landside at the two ends only, by reason of which the pivoted as well as the slotted end will be held firmly against it.

It will also be observed by reference to Figs. 1 and 2 that any opening between the heel and permanent landside that may be caused by the adjustment of the heel will be covered by the removable landside, so as to prevent roots and other obstructions gathering in the said opening, and that the proper adjustment of the heel will prevent any undue wear on the rear ends of the landsides.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

1. In a turn-plow, the combination of a permanent landside, 0, having the adjustable heel E pivoted to it, and the removable landside D, covering the opening between the perma nent landside and the heel, the whole being arranged and bolted together by the bolt 6, substantially as shown and described.

2. In an adjustable heel for plows, the web having curved inner surface, the wedge-shaped flange e, the pintle e, and the slot 0', substantially as shown and described, and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof Ihereunto affix in y sig nature in presence of two witnesses.

SIGMUND LANDAUER.
